Nasi Lemak @ Paramount reh-viewed!

I knew abit this place a few years back, but never actually gave a hoot about it because I thought it was just another regular chapalang mamak by the roadside.

That was it, until recently when some fellow nasi lemak lovers decided that it was time to
get me out of the coconut shell that I have been living under all these years.

Where? Somewhere in the midst of Taman Paramount. Located directly next to the Maybank in front of the Shell petrol station. And if you don’t know where that is, try looking for a building which is actually a wet market in the morning. Should you get lost there, try looking for a big sign which says Restoran Sun Fatt Kee.
And IF you still don’t know where that is, go fug yourself.
Why? Stupendiously delicious food, served to you at a rather premium price. For what, I don’t know. Perhaps they are collecting money for some orphanage or something.
Someone enlighten me.

I don’t exactly know whether this mamak has a name, but for convenience sake, I shall call it mamak-di-luar-Restoran-Sun-Fatt-Kee. Hmm a little long, but WHO GIVES A HOOT??

Let’s have a look at what they have to offer the crew from criticallyacclaimed™!

1) Nasi Goreng Kambing…meekkk.

Ok, perhaps that wasn’t the best impersonation of a goat, but it should suffice.

Before you think of anything, let me say something first. DON’T LET IT’S LOOKS
DECEIVE YOU!
For what you money is worth, this thing definitely hits the jackpot. Everyone kept saying
that the nasi goreng is damn nice, etc etc..so Mr.Simon decided to try the nasi goreng
kambing out.

See he eat also tersengih-sengih, evidently the dish is mmmmm…! And for those of you
that gave your Malay Language back to your teacher, tersengih-sengih is also known as..
um, crap…I think I gave mine back to my teacher as well.

Cooked together with a few variety of vegetables, eggs, meat and bla bla, this nasi goreng emitts a smooth fragrance that would even make Jackie Chan intrigued by it.
Upon putting a spoon full into your mouth, you’ll find that the rice is rather oily (can’t
possibly be healthy, but definitely nice) and tasty!
I can’t possibly describe it till much extent here. You simply have to try it yourself.
Price: RM 4.50 (Yeah, and I was like WTF?? Then I remembered it was goat…meekk)
Verdict: 8.3/10

2) Mee Goreng normal + Ayam BEST

Apparently, there are people who come here specially for the trademark chicken, so it’s no surprise to see a plate of (something) WITH chicken. According to Brian, ordered this
dish, he said “This is the best place to go wei! Next time we must come here again!”
Nuff said.
Maybe it contains alot of delicious MSG?
Price: RM5
Verdict: 7.5/10

3) Nasi Lemak

If you have payed close attention, you would’ve notice that there is an egg on every dish.
So next time if you open a mamak and don’t know how to decorate your food, you know
what to do now. Just cook up and egg and toss it over the dish so that it covers everything.
See, no need think so hard anymore.

As for this plate of sumptious nasi lemak, I would classify it under the ‘above average’ category. Nothing to shout about here. Apart from it being served fresh from the chef (the hot water vapour can really leave a stain on your glasses!), it taste more or less the same as the other good ones around. For those people that can’t take blazing hot sambal, this should be the one for you. I won’t say it’s not hot at all, but less in comparison with others.

Once again, you can always add on the ayam BEST side dish to complement the nasi lemak.

This little piece of hot chick costs RM2 each. Not bad eh, considering you get to touch some really sexy, sizzling hot thighs. Or you can even choose to place those warm breast meat next to your chest. And if you’re really getting into the mood, perhaps you can even stroke the brown tender skin with love and care.

Just becareful not to have some wild and vivid imaginations, you sicko.

Price: RM2.50 for nasi lemak biasa (Yes, by far the most expensive around.)
Verdict: 7/10

Announcement: Invitation to Nasi Lemak outing.

Come come! Let’s go and do some ’serious’ food reviewing! 

Restoran Lorong 100 Tahun reviewed!

Joshua Chin brought Hoc Mun and I to try out this place in SS2. Some of you might have
probably heard of it, and some of you might have even tried it before.

It’s called the 100 years old lane. Or better known as ’Restoran Lorong Seratus Tahun’.

Joshua decided to give us a treat because Hoc Mun wrote in his blog that he liked to eat curry mee. Wasai! Hoc Mun, next time you know what to do lah hor..please write that you like to eat sushi, seafood all those ok?

Restoran Lorong 100 Tahun specialises in curry mee and stuff like that. Mee, kuey teow, meehoon..you name it.
Inside the restaurant, we were given little stool-like chairs to sit on. Perhaps to give us
the same feeling of sitting on stools by the roadside? I don’t know.

Did you know that the people serving in the restaurant thought that we were some food reviewers or something? Well that’s because we started snapping pics of the restaurant
from the outside in, including all their food, menus, etc.
The lady even gave us like special treatment and explain to us how to eat this and that and how to mix the sambal, bla bla.

Maybe it would be even cooler if we were all wearing the same shirt! XD

Like that sure get some super special treatment or perhaps people offering us free meals
to get some world-class review. *Cough*

1) Lorong 100 Tahun famous curry mee

We tried their supposedly famous curry laksa, which was their pride and joy.
However, perhaps it had just been given a little over too much credit. The soup was rather diluted and the taste of the santan wasn’t really there. Perhaps just a little, but not enough to give me the ‘kick’…get it?
What you can get here that you normally don’t get elsewhere is the cube-like pig’s blood.
Ugh, it sents a shrill down my spines and makes me shudder even by just thinking of it.
We agreed that this wasn’t the authentic Penang curry mee taste, and even the noodles weren’t those broader ones that were used in Penang. Evolution perhaps? You tell me.

Boasting a price tag of RM5, some might expect a little more satisfaction than this. I could get a better tasting curry laksa at some hawker center for less the price.
Rating: 6.5/10

2) Penang Lobak

Now this was much more decent. I developed a particular liking for the brown thingy. I
dont exactly know what you call it, but yeah…it’s the brown one. Even the textures of the ‘fu chuk’ and white tofu were rather delicate and once you put it into your mouth and start chewing, the taste just burst up like little droplets of joy and makes you feel like a small kid all over again.
Can’t remember the price though but I think it’s around RM7? Maybe Joshua can confirm this.
Rating: 7.8/10

3) Penang ‘Char Kuey Teow’

Nowadays you get all these people who comes along, opens up a shop and claiming their food
runs down from a long line of recipe that were passed on to them from their descendents
that exist all the way from Penang.
Which one is real and which one is not? If you ask me, I wouldn’t know either.
I used to think that Penang Char Kuey Teow and curry laksa was of something special where you need to travel hundreds of KM in order to eat it. Picture the Muslims going to Mekah for their once-in-a-lifetime (excursions?)

Same goes to the char kuey teow here. Albeit the fact that it is rather spicy, the texture of the kuey teow that they use here has a rather ’smooth’ feel to it. They are rather
generous with the amount of ‘Lap Cheong’ as well, probably justified by its price?
But that still doesn’t make it different from the rest of the other Penang Char Kuey Teow stalls that could be found just down the road from here.

Perhaps someone will be smarter one day and decide to name his stall ’Special PJ Char Kuey
Teow’ - now that might be something.

I guess Joshua liked it. Hoc Mun and I thought it was just another typical plate - nothing
outstanding that would make you jump out of your stool and hug each other like gays. Oops?
Rating: 6.3/10

With a combined bill of almost RM36, this certainly makes it one of the more expensive places
to dine. Trying it out once in a while is fine, but everyweek? You’re better off eating at the
hawker centers nearby. Unless of course, if you can afford it!

Gentlemen, we have a situation.

All available forces are to report in by commenting on this post, and rendezvous after sun down, 2 days from now.

Every single men counts. And everyone WILL die, but you will die a hero.
